I like a lot of people wanted the webbing of my hand pierced, actually to tell the truth I never really wanted it done, I was just sitting in the house last night with nothing to do and no-one and thought hmm I think I'll pierce myself.So I went boiled the kettle and poured the water into a bowl which I then placed my labret and needle in (This works for sterilising I think)I then got all the other extras I though would be useful (ice already frozen due to my recent lip piercing, a cloth after all ice will ... read more

I feel so beautiful now. I, yes ME, am the possessor of the most beautiful piercing in the world. OK, well, yes, probably other people have the same piercing. And probably other people feel the same way about their piercing. But that doesn't change the fact that I am in love! ::Sigh:: I was at my piercer's (Need A New Hole? in Windsor) about a month ago, getting the curved barbell in my tongue web cleaned. My girlfriend and I were looking through the piercing albums and VOILA ...Here lies inspiration. The most wonderful madison ever. On someone's stomach, about ... read more

I remember the first time that I saw a nape piercing. It was about six years ago when I was 13. I was with a group of friends on South Street in Philadelphia and we were talking to a guy who was in his early twenties he said something about his newest piercing. Then he turned around and showed us the barbell in his neck. I think we all let out a collective gasp. None of us had even imagined that such a thing was possible before. I was part terrified and part fascinated. I like piercing before but this ... read more

I have always had a deep interest in piercing. That's what brought me here to bme. I go on bme so often and learn more and more every day about the piercing world. One day while I was looking at pictures I saw a picture of a female with the base of her neck pierced. Originally I was amazed that it looked like a necklace. It looked absolutely beautiful. It complimented her neck, her shoulders and collarbone well. I started to research for more pictures of this piercing and usually on everybody they looked absolutely beautiful. A few months past ... read more

everyone has a part of their body they like, and would like to accentuate. for me its always been my torso. So when I found out about things like surface piercings and art implants I was really excited. for about a year or 2 I was kind of shopping around for someone to do surface piercings on my side, to accentuate my ribs. I was afraid I didn't have enough skin to do it and that I would have to abandon the idea. I also thought I would have to get the piercings with ptfe flexible barbells, and this always ... read more

It was the morning of March 12th year 2K1 and i had planned to wake up and go get my bridge pierced. I got on the bus and headed downtown.

Ok, i'm a really impatient person and i couldn't wait any longer. I already had the barbell i wanted to put in it so I really was eager to ... read more

I had been planning this for a week but I have wanted my tongue webbing pierced for a couple of months. I didn't get it before because I wasn't sure if I should get it right away.

Although, both my ears are 8g and I have a Darwin piercing among various other earrings along my cartilage. All week I was so excited! I kept pinching my webbing to see how it would feel for a needle to go through even ... read more
